PSHE / Citizenship — KS2 Pupil Handout (Years 3–6)
MASH-ALIGNED KS2Every school in England must promote five special values. They help make our country a fair, safe, and kind place for everyone. Read each one and fill in the example below it.
We make decisions together, fairly. Everyone's opinion matters — even if we don't all agree. Nobody gets to make all the rules on their own.
Example from your school: When does democracy happen in your school?
Rules and laws are made to keep everyone safe. They apply to everyone equally — adults too. If we don't like a rule, we try to change it fairly — we don't just ignore it.
Example from your school: Name one school rule and explain why it keeps people safe.
You have the right to make choices about your own life — what you wear, what you believe, what hobbies you enjoy. Nobody can force you to be different as long as you stay within the law.
Think about it: Name one thing that makes you unique — something that is just yours.
We treat everyone with dignity and respect — even people who are very different from us. We can disagree with someone's ideas and still treat them kindly.
Think about it: How do you show respect to someone you disagree with?
We accept that people have different beliefs, religions, and traditions. We don't have to agree with everything everyone does — but we treat all people with respect. Tolerance means we can all live together.
Example: Name one festival, tradition, or celebration that happens in your school community (it doesn't have to be yours).
Draw a line connecting each situation on the left to the value it shows on the right.
Read each situation carefully. Think about whether it feels right or wrong — and who you would tell. Talk about it with your partner.
You are playing an online game and someone in the chat keeps saying really mean things about a group of people — saying they are all dangerous and should go away. You don't know who this person is.
Your friend tells you they saw a video online that said all people from a particular country are bad and cannot be trusted. Your friend is not sure if it is true.
Someone you don't know sends you a message online saying that the rules at your school are unfair and you should not have to follow them. They say they have a group of people who feel the same way.
A trusted adult is someone safe who you can always talk to if something worries you — online or in real life. You will NEVER be in trouble for asking for help.
A teacher or teaching assistant
A parent, carer, or family member

Write the name of one trusted adult in your school:
You don't need to put your name on this. Answer honestly — your teacher will read these to make sure everyone is okay.
1. Name one of the five values and explain what it means in your own words.
2. If a friend showed you something online that felt mean or unkind about a group of people, what would you do?
3. Is there anything from today's lesson you are unsure about or would like to know more about?
